Bulk Buy Lift Ticket Voucher Program
Offered through the Connecticut Ski Council (CSC)

The Bulk Buy Lift Ticket Voucher Program is offered to Winterset Members through the Connecticut Ski Council. Through the CSC's partnerships with Northeast resorts, they are able to offer steeply discounted lift tickets to their club members. As Winterset Ski Club is a member of the Connecticut Ski Council. We are able to offer this program and discounts to all our club members.

The bulk ticket program is designed to give ski club members an opportunity to purchase lift tickets for the upcoming season at reduced rates. These savings can amount to 30%-40% of the retail lift ticket price. The vouchers for these tickets are ordered in September and delivered in November. These vouchers are presented to the ski resort by the club member along with their membership ID and exchanged for the appropriate lift tickets. Any unused vouchers can be turned in at the end of the ski season for credit towards new vouchers for the same mountain next year. Not all mountains give 100% credit every year. Please read all the rules and regulations before buying vouchers.
